Unfortunately, that can happen with online dating as people can use false pictures to trick you. Just be glad you found out now rather than in a few more months.

Did you even read the FML?

I read the FML and this comment makes perfect sense? OP fell for someone who lied about their info. Sucks but it happens. It may not have been specifically on an online dating site but that hardly matters nowadays, people forge friendships and relationships all over the internet. Fortunately they found out now rather than in a few more months. 6 months is obviously worse than a couple of weeks, but it's not as bad as being duped for 2 years, sending money, arranging marriage/flights/etc. What's the problem?

Well it sucks that you're a pedophile... but what's your steady employment got to do with it?

It attests to her maturity I suppose.

Am I the only one who had to read the FML twice?

Op could lose her job if anyone found out that she was talking to a 13 year old online, especially if she did anything sexual like saying certain things or sending pictures of herself.

#18. I don't know if that attests to her maturity, after all she's been talking to him for 6 months... He must have come off older to go that long..

She can't get in trouble, unless she continues the relationship, since he lied about his age( either by omission or full out lied). She thought he was an adult, and know that she knows he isn't she can only really get in trouble if she keeps going anyway

I can honestly say that this is the first time I've seen a published FML that signed off spelling the acronym FLM.

Best of the best of the worst. Fuck Life Man.

Flying Little Monkeys.

Fuck love, man

Fucking Lying Male

I don't know what post you're reading, but it definitely says FML, not FLM.

At least talk to each other via skype or something before telling him you love him. Afterall, catfishing is pretty common nowadays.

Or tell him to find that fortune teller machine from "Big" and you can live happily ever after...

But was he hot?

"Hot" does not exist at that age.

Tru

Guess you either wait 5 years or move on. That kid must have some serious street cred for having an 18 year old that confessed her love to him.

Nothing else can give you major street cred than having someone fall in love with you on the Internet.

Nah, it's pretty impressive. Boys tend to mature a bit later than girls as well. Either OP has some seriously juvenile intrests or that's a pretty damn mature and suave 13-year-old.

glad im not the only one who had these sort of thoughts on the matter Slothman102, although personally its because I simply viewed it as 5 years is better than 5 decades. overall 5 year difference wont mean squat

it's means a whole lot to a judge. it means 20 years in prison for OP and street cred for the 13 yr old.

It really is impressive isn't it? To find someone who is that mature at the age of 13, of course, he could be faking, but if he's not and he was a bit older, I bet OP would've wanted him as a boyfriend. I'd want a girl like that.

Haa, that boy has got real game. God knows I'd have loved to land an eighteen year old at thirteen.

id love to land an 18 year old at any age

Jared Fogle would love to land a 9 year old at 40.

Both teenagers.. So I guess it's OK..

An 18 year old is an adult

Pst
I think it was sarcasm

Psst im not so sure it was

18 is actually still a number in the 'teens' and you can't even do somethings in the US until you're 21 anyways.

So you expressed your love to him when you haven't even seen a picture of him?

Pictures are easy to get and pretend you're them.

What 29 said, and love isn't all about looks. You can fall in love with their personality, but even a personality is easy to fake.

I guess it's puppy love.
